    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Sopo from Cameroon???

Yes Jim, I found that part to be especially funny... I was actually laughing here at my desk (I do not do that that often).
 
yeah, I kind of loughed myself.

Oh don't mind my spelling. If I do not feel like using spell check, it can be annoying. I think all these years of it, have reduced my spelling ability sometimes. That and if I am tired... well just forget about it.

Dennis, I think this would qualify as scammer behavior. Can it get ousted from here for good? I really hope so. He will say he has anything, and there are some people looking for things that they may have little or no experience with, and they could get taken for a bad ride. This is just bad bad bad...

I agee. He is gone from here.
 
I think your spelling errors (and mine) are not the end of the world. For some real spelling fun go to this thread.

-WOW, thanks for bringing that to my attention. I was starting to feel like an idiot, but that person clearly showed me that I am not all that bad ;)

-Tell us what his response is when he finds out he has been banned. I bet it is messed up and filled with anger...lol

Thanks, Jim
 
Thanks Dennis, and bye bye Sopo the Scammer. Thanks for the laughs!
(I am still trying to figure out what fufu is???) :confused:
 
Well, I realize he is gone, but before He got banned I sent this response to him about asking about what fufu is and for details on his Anery Rock Python.

What is corn fufu? also how long is the Centrilian Carpet Python? Can you
give me details on the Anery Rock Python as well. How long? how old? what
sex? ever bred? hatched by you? and lastly its price?

Thanks in advance,

James

His response:

Sopo

After I got this, I figured I would let him on my little secret, and tell him he that he is the moron that he is, but then a friend gave me an Idea that I could not resist, so I sent him this response:

Mr Sopo, I will take them both. The total price of $950.00 is ok by me! I will send you a cashiers check for $5,000.00 to you. You will not need to worry about shipping as I have a shipper that will handle all of the
shipping details for you. My shipper is currently In Lagos, Nigeria and he
will be able to go to your area as soon you recieve the check. All you will
need to do is cash the check and deduct $950.00 and another $100.00 (for
your trouble), and then wire the rest to my shipper via Western Union money
transfer service. I hope I can trust you in this. You seem like a very
honest person. Please send me your contact information and we can conclude this transaction in a timely mannor. My regards to you and your family.

Ok, Dennis I realize this is the typical Nigerian response, but please do not ban me. The irony here was just too irresistable. I know the response so well simply because I have been approached about so many times (about 30)in the last 6 months. I just had to see what his reaction to this would be.

No worries there. I think it is hilarious to string these guys along and give them a taste of their own medicine.
 
Correction

Correction the first photo that Sopo sent that was supposed to be the Centrilian Carpet Python was not a Burmese Python as I said, My friend Paul saw the pic, and told me that it is actually a rock python. If sopo had a brain, he would have used that pic as the second snake. Guess he thought the cornsnake was a better choice. :erm:
 
Inquiry

Sorry hate to wander off but.....James Wilson...Andyour in AZ? Have you ever been to Idaho? Sorry to butt into your thread. Just curious. :eek3:
 
Nope, I have never been to Idaho (I aviod cold weather). I have leved in AZ and So Cal all my life with the exception of 6 months that I lived in Naples,FL. May I ask why you ask?
 
Also, no need to apologize. Besides, it is not my thread, it is Adam's. I am just having a little more fun with it than he is. He probably actually has a life...
 
Sorry Tanith, when I did the reverse Nigerian Scam on him, he pulled a disappearing act on me. Go figure... :crap:
 
I finally got tired of messing with Sopo the dopo, and I sent this to him:

I have some thoughts and questions for you.
First, is it $600.00 or $700.00 for the Centrilian Carpet Python? Make up
your mind please. Second, it is not even a Centrilian Carpet python. It is a common Burmese Python people often just give them away here. Third, you say this Centralian Carpet Python of yours is 18 months old, and it bred 5 months ago. That would mean that it bred as a yearling, and that is just not
possible. Fourth, The second pic that you sent was not even a python you
moron! And it was not anerytheristic. It was an amelanistic corn snake you
idiot. Also, congradulations are in order. You now have a thread on the BOI
dedicated to you in an effort to warn people about you. Also you have been
banned from the fauna website, because of your scamming ways. Have a nice life. ---hole.

James

I was surprised to see this bozo actually respond. He responded with this:

HI Mr James
I appreciate your frequent replies and effort to
keep me updated with mails,But to ask this,I see that u
are Mixed up with what i have been telling u,first to
answer your questions,i said the centrilian carpet
Python was $600,and the secong was anery python which i
said it was $350,and i think u might be convinced but i
am giving you all assurance,I have seen that you were
just making a joke out of your self and u were no
actually serious for the business.Any way it is your
choice and i think that if you receive the python and
it is not what u will need you simply ask me and i can
replace it,for your abusive words shows how wicked you
are.I was giving you at very good prices because i
wanted to establish a very good business relation with
you since this was the first business with you.
i am disapointed sir but all the same you can still
wire me with a reply.
Regards
Sopo

I have to say that I do like that he calls me Mr. James. Makes me feel important.
 
Hey Mr. James,

Don't give this guy the benefit of learning where his mistakes were made, or else he will be better able to scam somebody else. Just laugh at his stupid scamming tactics over here and don't give him the chance to improve them.
 
You have a good point Tanith, But I do not think too much damage was done. I really do not think this guy knows his head from his butt. But You are probably right. I should not help him by telling him all of his goof ups.
P.S. Thanks for calling me Mr. James and making me feel important again. :spinner03
